No undertaker or other person shall bury or otherwise dispose of a human body in a town, or remove therefrom a human body which has not been buried, until he has received a permit from the board of health, or its agent appointed to issue such permits, or if there is no such board, from the clerk of the town where the person died ; and no undertaker or other person shall exhume a human body and remove it from a town, from one cemetery to another, or from one grave or tomb other than the receiving tomb to another in the same cemetery, until he has received a permit from the board of health or its agent aforesaid or from the clerk of the town where the body is buried. No such permit shall be issued until there shall have been de- livered to such board, agent or clerk, as the case may be, a satisfac- tory written statement containing the facts required by law to be returned and recorded, which shall be accompanied, in case of an original interment, by a satisfactory certificate of the attending physician, if any, as required by law, or in lieu thereof a eertificate as hereinafter provided. If there is no attending physiclan, or if, for sufficient reasons, his certificate cannot be obtained carly enough for the purpose, or is insufficient, a physician who is a member of the board of health, or employed by it or by the sclectmen for the pur- pose, shall upon application make the certificate required of the at- tending physician. If death is caused by violence, the medical exam- iner shall make such certificate. If such a permit for the removal of a human body, not previously interred, from one town to another within the commonwealth cannot be obtained early enough for the purpose, the certificate of death made as above provided and in the possession of the undertaker desiring to make such removal shall constitute a permit for such removal ; provided, that such body shall be returned to the town from which it was removed within thirty- six hours after such removal, unless a permit in the usual form for the removal of such body has been sooner obtained hereunder. If the death certificate contains a recital, as required by section ten of chapter forty-six, that the deceased served in the army, navy or marine corps of the United States in any war in which it has been engaged, such recital shall appear upon the permit. The board of health, or its agent, upon receipt of such statement and certificate, shall forthwith countersign it and transmit it to the clerk of the town for registration. The person to whom the permit is so given and the physician certifying the cause of death shall thercafter fur- nish for registration any other necessary information which can be obtained as to the deceased, or as to the manner or cause of the death, which the clerk or registrar may require .- Chap. 114, Sec. 45. G. L., (Tercentenary Edition. )


No undertaker or other person shall bury a human body or the ashes thereof which have been brought into the commonwealth until he has received a permit so to do from the board of health or its agent appointed to Issue such permits, or if there is no such board, from the clerk of the town where the body is to be buried or the funeral is to be held, or from a person appointed to have the care of the cemetery or burlal ground in which the interment is made. .. .

RULES OF PRACTICE


The fulfillment of the purpose of these laws calls for the observ- ance of the following rules of practice :


(1) Attending physicians will certify to such deaths only as those of persons to whom they have given bedside care during a last ill- ness from disease unrelated to any form of injury.


(2) Board of Ilealth physicians will certify to such deaths only as those of persons who, though disabled by recognized disease un- related to any form of injury, have died without recent medical attendance or whose physician is absent from home when the certificate of death Is needed.


(3) Medical Examiners will investigate and certify to all deaths supposably due to injury. These include not only deaths caused directly or indirectly by traumatism (including resulting septice- mla), and by the action of chemical (drugs or poisons), thermal, or electrical agents, and deathis following abortion, but also deaths from disease resulting from injury or infection related to occupa- tion, the sudden deaths of persons not disabled by recognized disease, and those of persons found dead.


Statement of Cause of Death .- Cause of death means the disease, or complication which causes death, not the mode of dying, e. g., heart failure, asphyxia, asthenia, etc. As principal cause name the disease causing death. As related causes, name earlier morbid con- ditions, if any, related to the principal cause and any important complication of the principal cause.


Statement of Occupation .- Precise statement of occupation is very Important, so that the relative healthfulness of various pursuits can be known. Make some entry in this section for every person aged 10 years or over. If the occupation had been given up or changed on account of the disease causing death, report the usual occupation prior to illness. If the deceased had retired from busi- ness, report the usual occupation prior to retirement. Children not gainfully employed may be returned as at school or at home. For a woman whose only occupation was that of home housework, write housework. For a person engaged in domestic service for wages, however, designate the occupation by the appropriate terms, as housekeeper-private family, cook-hotel, etc. For a person who had no occupation whatever write none.
